The Course
Course Rating: 57.2
Course Slope: 81
Course yardage: 1560 yards
Hole #1: (135 yards)(Desolation Sound) |
A tricky opening hole with out of bounds on the right and a severe right to left slope on the green. |
Hole #2: (145 yards)(Heart) (aka Jennifer Aniston) |
Most golfers underclub here due to a changing wind. An invisible ditch behind the flat green causes an easy hole to yield high scores. |
Hole #3: (158 yards)(Boomerang) |
Over a ditch to a sloping front to back green. Recoveries are rare from behind the green. |
Hole #4: (210 yards)(Area 51) |
Long tee shot over ditch. Long grass on the right along with a forest will cause havoc to the slicer. A long straight tee shot to a flat pear shaped green will earn a much sought after 3! |
Hole #5: (215 yards)(Dog Bone) |
An interesting dogleg left tee shot to an inverted narrow, saucer green makes a 3 very difficult to attain. The tee shot is wide open with a ditch and out of bounds on the right. A tee shot hit too far straight will also find the water! |
Hole #6: (117 yards)(Alberni Triangle) |
Shortest hole on the course and one which has yielded the most aces! Play short and allow the ball to run on. Overshooting makes a recovery very difficult. |
Hole #7: (150 yards)(Robins nest) |
Out of bounds on the right along with a bunker right of the green, make it a convenient nightmare for slicers! Balls overshooting the green are almost guaranteed a non recovery for par! Also a challenge is British Columbias only green to own a bunker, affectionately named "the Robins Nest" after long time member Robin Woodward. |
Hole #8: (180 yards)(Grassy Knoll) |
Most difficult hole on the course! Golfers hit over 2 grass mounds to a hidden green, shaped in the letter "C" to symbollically capture the Vancouver Canucks logo, with a ditch menacing the right side of the fairway. |
Hole #9: (230 yards)(Teds A**hole) |
A drive over 2 ditches to a severe green sloped front to back and flanked by a nasty pot bunker affectionately called "Teds A**hole". This is a finishing hole that has ruined many, many potentially good rounds. |
